Where this word comes from

From Ancient Greek ὄβρυζα (óbruza, “assaying of gold”), ultimately from Hurrian 𒂁𒄷𒌋𒌒𒊒𒍑𒄭 (DUG.ḫu-u-ub-ru-uš-ḫi /⁠ḫubrušḫi⁠/, “crucible, smelter, melting-pot”), likely via the route of Hittite 𒄷𒌒𒊒𒍑𒄭 (ḫu-up-ru-uš-ḫi /⁠ḫuprušḫi-⁠/); for further connections see Arabic إِبْرِيز (ʔibrīz, “pure gold”).
